Development of Active Learning with Simulations and Games

Abstract

Educational games and simulations are excellent active learning tools that offer students hands-on experience. Little research is available on developing games and simulations and how teachers can be assisted in making their own games and simulations. In this context, the paper presents a multi-step process of how to develop games and simulations in the areas of business, finance and economics. This model for creating games and simulations can be successfully integrated into the process of developing efficient tools that create positive learning outcomes.
